Is there something my hairdresser could put on my facelift incisions to protect them when coloring my hair?

I tell my patients to color their hair right before surgery then to wait 2-3 weeks after. If there are any concerns about the hair chemicals getting to the incisions, then i suggest applying a layer of aquaphor

Aquaphor should work fine to protect your incisions after your facelift.  Your incisions should be well healed at 9.5 weeks.  I generally recommend waiting 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure depending on healing.  Best wishes!

At 9.5 weeks post op, you should be fine to have your hair colored. Using aquaphor wouldn't hurt as extra protection. Check with your surgeon who knows you best. Good luck.

As a facelift specialist, in our practice I have developed an easy to follow protocol for my patients regarding hair coloring.  In summary, get the hair colored a few days before surgery, and then resume the usual hair coloring schedule about 3 weeks after the facelift.  At this point of healing the typical chemicals used in a salon should not damage the incision. For patients with sensitive skin, the stylist can protect the incision with  lotion that they use to protect the skin from getting stained form hair dye.  When need be, I allow my patients to touch up their hair sooner, with special instructions, depending on the incision placement. 

I agree with the others that at 9 weeks you really should not have any troubles with coloring your hair.  Use of vaseline or aquaphor along the incision line can add a degree of protection.
